"Drinkin' Thing" lyrics - RONNIE DUNN

Every day I tell myself it's temporary
It's only 'cause she's young, makes her want another man
Even though she makes me feel unnecessary
I've found a way to make me understand

[Chorus:]
I've got this drinkin' thing to keep from thinkin' things
Like where you been, who you been with and what you've done
And it's a lonely thing, but it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love hangin' on

If I wait at home I'll only ask her questions
She'd probably the truth, so I don't even ask
So I sit here on this bar stool feeling helpless
And I wonder just how long a man can last

[Chorus:]
I've got this drinkin' thing to keep from thinkin' things
Like where you been, who you been with and what you've done
And it's a lonely thing, but it's the only thing
To keep a foolish man in love hangin' on

[Outro:]
I've got this drinkin' thing, oh, to keep from thinkin' things
Like where you been, who you been with and what you've done
